Gongfu Workshop, Sunday December 15th

This is a workshop for those that are at the beginning of their exploration of gongfu*, or have never started, but are interested.  During the hour, we will discuss the fundamentals of gongfu brewing. Each attendee will select serval teas to brew during the workshop, to hone their skill and work through any problems or questions that arise.  The goal is to leave this class feeling confident in your ability to brew all teas in this style.

*Gongfu is a style of tea making, originating in China.  The concept is to use a small pot, with a large amount of leaf and brew the tea in multiple flash steepings.  Each steep is a unique expression of the tea, as the tea brews stronger and stronger, before it begins to fade away.  Expect to drink anywhere from 4-6 steeps per tea.
